Can anyone tell me where I can get some free virus software for the Mac?

By the way, do the Macs ever catch cold? It seems like most of the virus attacks are meant for Windows.

There aren't too many MAC users, so viruses are more targeted to Windows users. And no MACs are not virus prone. But I would imagine that there are viruses written for MACs.

hehe i guess that first "big and bad" type of virus for mac ( the usual one for windows) is going to become popular very fast and do some damage :) c mon "no-girlfriend-no-friends-lonely-unsocial" virus makers do the mac thing :)

The virus' for Mac's are out there but finding "free" worth installing virus protection I have yet to see. If you want control over your Mac look into utility software by micromat (http://www.micromat.com) works better than Nortons etc. since it was created only for the Macintosh.

Also, if your running OSX on your system buy micromat's Drive 10 utility, it's worth the $70.00 ;)
